Would you like to see a better-connected network of bike routes in our community? (i.e. bike/ped paths, designated bike lanes, painted on-road sharrows — or improvements on any road that is heavily used by cyclists). We have a major opportunity to influence that. Read on:
Background
For the past year, Centre Region Council of Gov’ts (COG) has worked on a regional bicycle plan. It covers the entire Centre Region.
Now COG is sharing their recommendations with the public, and our elected officials.
What’s Happening Now
COG is presenting the draft plan at meetings in every township and Borough in the region. There is also a meeting designed for the general public on November 10, at 7pm at the COG Building.
We want you to send a loud-and-clear message to local elected officials that we support this type of work.
Take Action
